Marc Berger/ Edition Schwarzdruk (DE) did a great job organising the 'Dada ist 100’, an exhibition celebrating 100 years of Dada movement with more than 50 letterpress printers from 10 countries taking part in this unique event.
The exhibition will take place in Eremitage Gransee (DE) on 4th of June and will then be traveling to venues in Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium and the USA. To produce a catalog Mark Berger launched crowdfunding campaign which have been successfully funded, thanks to the letterpress enthusiasts all over the world.

Last Sunday the city of Gent, as well as other cities in Flanders and Brussels, was celebrating the Heritage day (Erfgoeddag) which is held annually on the first Sunday after the Easter Holidays.
